There the dancers dancing Cokek demonstrates his skill as he sang. Perhaps if the dancers are less afdol cokek just dancing. Therefore the development should also be a smart addition to dancing, aka vocal singing in a melodious voice accompanied the music of Gambang Kromong.

In an age of modern technology, a new generation of Batavia in the outskirts of the city would feel more comfortable even perceive a single organ music featuring dangdut singer to dress sexy.
